Third Thursday: What is live art?

As part of Jelly’s Third Thursday season, we will be exploring the question of liveness within art, with a discussion led by founding member Sara Davies in which she asks “what is live art?” Not an easy question, and there are no promises of an easy one-size-fits-all answer, but then this is art after all!

To act as a starting point, here is part of the Live Art Development Agency’s definition of live art:

“The term Live Art is not a description of an artform or discipline, but a cultural strategy to include experimental processes and experiential practices that might otherwise be excluded from established curatorial, cultural and critical frameworks. Live Art is a framing device for a catalogue of approaches to the possibilities of liveness by artists who chose to work across, in between, and at the edges of more traditional artistic forms.”
